level 3Git & Version Control
Push
also: pushed, pushing, git push, force push
Sending your commits from your computer up to the remote, so they're backed up and others can see them.
a bit more technical
"git push" uploads local commits on a branch to the matching branch on a remote. It's rejected if the remote has commits you don't have, unless you force it. Pushing often triggers automated checks or deployments.
picture it
Mailing your finished pages to the publisher. Until you send them, they exist only on your desk.
why it matters
Pushing is where local work becomes shared, and often where deploys start. It's a natural approval point: review the diff, then push.
what your agent might say
Pushed 2 commits to the fix-checkout-total branch on GitHub. This branch isn't connected to deployment, so nothing has gone live.
how you might use it
Commit your changes, but don't push until I've reviewed the diff. And never force push.
common mistake
Thinking commit and push are the same. Commit saves a snapshot locally. Push sends it to the remote.
